One way is to peel up leather at latch end, take out 2 screws, lift latch
plate, push latch up. Don't lose small spacers found under the latch. The
problem is probably under the top cover (or leather was reglued recently?)
so this will not keep if from happening again.

Subject: [OM] Help open my OM1
| Need help from one of you fix-it wizards. Can't seem to open the
| back of my OM1. Read instruction in the FAQ for an OMF but
| doesn't seem to apply to the OM1, or maybe i'm dead wrong.
| Pulling up on the rewind knob will not open the back. Any help will
| be welcomed and appreciated.
